KS2 Year 5 Teacher and Subject Leader (to be negotiated)

Portway Primary School is an Outstanding primary school in Plaistow, Newham, which provides an exceptional and enriching education for children from 2 to 11 years.  We believe that our core purpose as a school is not only to help our children succeed academically, but also to teach them about the wider world and their role in the future.  We want children to learn today the knowledge and skills required to be able to transform tomorrow, and so at Portway, we have one simple statement that encapsulates our vision: Learning today, transforming tomorrow.

Our school is part of Newham Community Learning, which exists in order to provide an excellent education for all young people in our community.  We are the only Trust to offer all-through provision from ages 2 - 16 within a single family of schools in Newham. Across our two primary and four secondary schools, all located in the west of the borough, we educate over 5,400 local children and young people, and employ a team of  close to 700 members of staff, the vast majority of whom live locally.

To view opportunities at all our schools, please see our Trust page on TES.

Train with us - we are delighted to partner with Teach First to deliver our School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme.  Teach First is a national charity that develops and supports teachers and leaders who are determined to make a difference where it is needed the most. As a training partner, we will be working with Teach First to deliver this one year teacher training programme, which enables participants to train and develop skills in the classroom.  It is ideal for people who are eager to learn on the job and make a difference in their community from day one.  Our Newham Community Learning SCITT Booklet has further information; please email traintoteach@ncltrust.net to find out more.  Please note that this programme is currently aimed at secondary teaching staff.
